However, all of the meetings have been confirmed to POLITICO by multiple people who have been briefed on the secretive sit-downs.

The meetings have been at Barrack Obama’s personal office on the third floor of the World Wildlife Fund building in D.C.’s West End neighborhood.

Although it’s reported that Obama is not expected to endorse anyone in the 2020 race until after a nominee has emerged, he has been giving advice to politicians are looking for guidance and support.

Reports also say that Obama is keen to be involved in helping whoever runs in 2020 but it won’t be directly.

Apparently, Obama is concerned about how the Democratic party and wants to be involved in trying to help win in the midterms and in the next presidential cycle to beat president Trump and win back the White House.

This should go well (insert eye roll emoji here).

Among the other speculated 2020 candidates who haven’t been through: Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Terry McAuliffe. Cory Booker was in to see Obama last year, shortly after he returned from his extended post-White House vacation, but hasn’t been back since.
